Part number VQ4318 is an AS568-318 black Viton® (FKM) 75 Shore A quad profile Quad-Ring with an inside diameter of 0.975 in (24.77 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.395 in (35.43 mm). A quad-ring delivers lower friction and better sealing stability than a comparable round-section o-ring.
Viton® (FKM) is specified here for excellent resistance to compression set and permeation, long service life in hot, chemically aggressive environments. The compound resists petroleum oils and fuels, chlorinated solvents, and aggressive chemicals. Service temperature is rated from -15°F (-26.1°C) through 400°F (204.4°C). Applications involving ketones and esters or low-molecular-weight organic acids call for a different compound.
You will find this material specified across automotive fuel systems, oil and gas, and high-temperature process equipment.
VQ4318 ships individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 1 inch. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
